It's not often that a single cleanser earns unanimous praise from sensitive, acne-prone and mature skin types alike. Yet iS Clinical Cleansing Complex is doing exactly that, with NewBeauty readers dubbing it everything from their "holy grail" to "the greatest cleanser" they've ever used in a recent survey of more than 700 readers.* Here's what they had to say.
"Hands down the greatest cleanser I've ever used. My skin loves this stuff," shares a 33-year-old reader, setting the tone for the overwhelmingly positive feedback this product receives.
For those dealing with sensitive skin or using intense treatments, this cleanser is a game-changer. "So good! Amazing after chem peels, if using prescription retinol/al, have a majorly damaged skin barrier…phenomenal. Does not strip skin WHATSOEVER! Truly cleanses and soothes. Excellent for acne prone and hypersensitive skin!" raves a 34-year-old reader.
The formula's versatility shines through in its ability to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. A 52-year-old reader explains, "The IS Clinical Cleansing Complex helps dead skin cells turn over. It leaves your skin fresh but not tight and dry. It is not irritating to my sensitive skin and allows all of my serums and creams to work well. Excellent product."
Those with acne-prone skin have found particular success. "The best cleanser on the market for oily, acne prone skin. Pricey but worth it. Leaves my skin so bright, clear and smooth. Cleanses extremely effectively without over stripping. My forever HG," or holy grail, reports a 30-year-old reader.
The gentle-yet-effective nature of the cleanser is a consistent theme among users. Another 34-year-old reader notes, "I love this cleanser! Nothing leaves my face feeling clean with stripping," while a 36-year-old adds, "I love the Cleansing Complex. It's a gentle face wash I use a.m. and p.m. that I really feel gets my skin clean and makeup off."
Perhaps a 27-year-old reader sums it up best: "The face cleanser was gentle but cleaned effectively. The best skin wash I have ever used."
If you're searching for a cleanser that can remove every trace of makeup and dirt while keeping your skin barrier happy, this might be your new holy grail.
